# Pork

> This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in pork. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to this food, which is useful if you experience symptoms like hives, itching, or stomach upset after eating pork products. This measurement helps rule out pork as a specific trigger for your reactions compared to other foods or conditions. However, this test alone cannot diagnose an allergy or predict how severe a future reaction might be.
